USB Wireless Router. Anyone tried with 3G?

I'm not talking about a USB Wireless (or Wi-Fi) adapter. I'm talking about a USB Wireless Router like Synet's Windy31 USB Wireless Router ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9904137-1.html ).
This will connect to a Window PC's USB port and create a wireless network by sharing the computer's internet connection. This sounds like it will be really useful when I'm travelling with just my iPhone and not a laptop. I can plug this USB Wireless Router into a friend/family member's PC or laptop and share their internet connection via Wi-Fi.
Anyone used this particular product or know of any others? This Windy31 has had mixed reviews.

You may try to reflash the firmware manually using the file from the site. That is done by downloading firmware file and doing the upgrade through the setup page. You may refer to this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a3a56a63d7fe440da177b1b8d186f40e_How_to_manually_u...

Which wireless router works best with Apple products?

Which wireless router works best with Apple products?

I cannot comment of Airport products, as I have none. Nor would I suppose to argue with Kappy or Ralph.
But in a pinch a LinkSys E2500 will work, as it does for me.

IS THERE A USB WIRELESS ROUTER OUT THERE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH MAC 0SX 10

I NEED TO HOOK UP MY MAC PRO OSX 10.5.6 WIRELESS TO ANOTHER COMPUTER. IT DOES NOT HAVE A AIRPORT CARD INSTALLED IN IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT MY COMPUTER FOR THE 48 HOURS IT WOULD TAKE TO INSTALL IT.

I WANT A QUICK FIX THAT WILL GET ME CONNECTED TO THE WIRELESS ROUTER IN MY HOME ATTACHED TO THE OTHER COMPUTER.

Settings to get wireless router to work with verizon DSL modem?

I have a friend who lives in NYC who's roommate has verizon DSL service, and they're trying to get their Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router working with it so my friend can use wireless with her laptop. They're clueless with networking things, and I'm only familiar with setting routers up for Fios and cable service. I know DSL settings are different and I was hoping somebody could tell me the important ones to use on the router for Verizon DSL in NYC. Right now the roommate is just using a little 3"x3" black modem connected to her computer with an ethernet wire, but they don't know what model or anything the modem is. Can anybody tell me what settings I should use when I login to the router and configure it? Thanks

Perhaps this may help

Communication Error with wireless router, Works fine with Ethernet cable.

Video iChat is fine when my MBP and other MB's and MBP's are at my house using the Netgear 240 rangemax wireless router. I'm currently running High speed Internet via cable modem through Time Warner Cable. When I try to chat with them while they are at home, I get a communication error. I then tried to use the Ethernet cable hooked up to the cable modem to my MacBook Pro. It worked fine. I would like to use video iChat via my wireless router. I don't understand why it is not working. I think it is my router. Do I need to buy an Airport Extreme Base Station or can I still use this router. Can you possibly help me configure this Netgear router? The internet connection is fine when I use the wireless router.

I have not had very good experiences with the Netgear routers. I can't say that it is the router causing your problem, however, it might be the effective wireless bandwidth over your router. Do a speedcheck and determine the download and upload speed with wireless. Hopefully you're getting about 400Kbps up and 400Kbps down or about 1000Kbps in total.

Hi, I need help to secure my linksys wireless router, i tried the setup guide but i didnt work..

hello
I need help securing my linksys wireless router with speed boosters. In august me and some friends took over this rented house, and with the house we got their old internett system, we use a linksys router, This nett is open for everyone, but we want to secure it for other users. We didnt get the manual and i've tried the guide on your site but it says it cant be changed. The old owners didnt either know what to do. Is there some help i can get with this? Is there some buttom i can push to reset it and then make it possible?

Connect your computer using wire to router. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name, if admin doesn't work reset router and do above step again. Go to wireless tab, here change wireless network name from linksys to any other name. Save the settings. Go to wireless security sub-tab here change security mode to WPA personal etc, and enter you secret key in passphrase/shared key, Save the settings.This secret key will be security key of your wireless network.

Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
steve

Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.
Heres a link:

What wireless router is compatible with Mac OS X 10.8.1?

I just purchased a new cisco Linksys wireless router that is not compatible with OS X 10.8.1. Which routers ARE compatible, besides the Apple AirPorts?

Your Linksys router should be compatible, however the firmware might need updating once you get online.
Your router will have an IP address in the ranges 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.-
Connect your router to your Mac via Ethernet cable (They usually supply one with the router and don't worry which end goes where the Mac LAN socket is bi-directional)
Also connect your router to your telephone line - Its likely you have an ADSL service because if you have a cable service they provide a modem normally.
Now open your Web browser (Safari is the only one installed be default) . Type in the IP address and a Javascript control panel will launch
Enter the default password and username (They are on a label on the router )
Your now have the ability to set up your router.
Your will need the password and user name supplied to you by your ISP at a minimum.
Enter these and most modern routers automatically configure the basic networking setting.
You now need to go to the security setting and set this as WPA2 Personal (NOT Enterprise) or WPA2 with AES and TKIP which ever it refers to and create a pass-phase. WRITE it down
You should be online.
Your router may need a firmware update LInksys units usually do but that is a different and long story for a separate thread.
Personal experiences with Linksys routers in the Mac evironment are not so good and they have tended to get hot lock up or fall over from time to time resulting a hard reboot being necessary.
To-date the very best and most stable performance has been with an Airport Extreme/Time capsule connected to a cable modem.
Regrettably you still need a separate modem to use this with ADSL services.
Shootist007 the fact that Apple use a separate full application (Actually two are available at the moment 5.6 for enterprice and 6.1 for home networking) gives direct control rather than relying on javascript and firmware errors.
Its actually a better solution

Is there a wireless router that works with 10.9 I will also need an extender?

I upgraded to 10.9 and it or I killed my wifi that had worked rather well for 1 1/2 years. Linksys tech attempted to help me but wanted me to buy a newer model I felt she were clueless or shaddy at best or both.
Been online searching for a top of the line router with no luck since I have no way of knowing if it will work with 10.9. All I can find is routhers that do not work with 10.9.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cliff

What I use and love: Netgear R6200 (no longer top of the line but gets through brick and maintains 35Mb signal at 30 ft. and is $100 less than when I bought it seems so short a time ago.
I don't (Mac Pro 1,1) run 10.9 which while I can find issues wth some Macs and wifi and with Apple routers, I would look at what you use for your Mac Pro to add wireless which might.

Best wireless router for use with Powerbook 15"

Not everyone uses the Apple Airport, and some who do have mixed feelings about the various models.
What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with an AlBook? What has the least problems, most reliable, strongest signal, fewest drops, best range, etc in your experience.

Joeski,
I'll have to get back to you on what card my wifes laptop is using. I think it's a 802.11a/g, but I will confirm. My Powerbook 1.67 has the built in wireless card and to be honest, I have never looked to see what it uses.
We have our D-Link router set up for WPA2.
Neither her or I have had any issues when we have had to connect anywhere to any other wireless network and when I come home, I can connect back to my router automatically since my network is set up on my Powerbook as my 1st network of choice in connecting.
As far as replacing the antenna, I really dont know. It's has 3 antennas on it and I get a great signal, so I never thought about replacing it.
Hope this information is helpful to you!

Anyone tried with 10.4.11?

Yes, I know Leopard is officially required, but I'm not convinced it wouldn't run on the latest Tiger version. I know the disc stops you if it detects Tiger, but I'm wondering if you could install the individual packets & make it work by forcing the install. Anyone tried?
If that doesn't work, I think one could install it on Leopard officially & then move the individual files directly to a Tiger machine. This would have to include all the library & system files as well.

It's dead. Upgrade your OS.

Can a wireless router be used with an iMac G5 AND a Windows laptop

I currently have a BT Broadband connection on my iMac G5 through a Speedtouch 330 modem.
I want to move to a wirless router so I can access the net on at least 2 laptops running windows at the same time as the Mac is connected to the net
Which router is best and what should I look out for.
Also, is there a simple guide anywhere that explains routers and what one needs to do to make them work?
Mant thanks
Jammi

Make sure that your modem has an Ethernet output.
Usually the default settings of the router are all you need.
Any wireless router will do what you want.

Getting your wireless router to work with the mini computers and their small monitors

I have one on the new Dell Mini computers. I purchased the Wireless-G Broadband Router model #WRT54G2 and had the most difficult time getting Network Magic installed on the Mini because the monitor was too small for the required resolution (1024x768) - this was trying to install via the CD that came with the router.
The solution to this problem:
1) Use the CD to install the Router and Network Magic on your desktop (or wherever you are hardwired to the internet).
2) Open Network Magic; go to "Status" and download the newest version of Network Magic to your desktop.
3) DO NOT use the CD to install Network Magic on the Mini. Instead - Unplug your hardwire connection from your desktop and connect it to your Mini. Go to "linksysbycisco.com/us/en/support/WRT54G2/download" and install the newest version of Network Magic on your Mini.
4) Replug your hardwire connection into your desktop.
5) You can now use Network Magic from your desktop to add the mini to the network. Go to "Tasks" and then "Add a device." You will be able to follow the directions at this point.
The only other issue I found was naming the network. I had to name the desktop and the mini the same name otherwise it wouldn't connect.
Good Luck and hopefully it won't take you the three days it took me to figure this out.

Hi i have a Router WRT 54 G2 v1, when i want to connect it wireless to my new mini, He is asking me to enter a Security key !
i don't know how to get that Code, anyone would have an answer for me ?
Thank you

Can I use a WRT546 V8 Wireless Router in combination with Vonage?

Please bear with me if this turns out to be a simple question with a simple answer; I'm challenged when it comes to these things. I use Vonage, with a Motorola VT2442-VD router. That's connected to my desktop but I also have a Dell laptop (with Windows Vista) that will rarely if ever be in the same room as the desktop. So I need a wireless signal, but when I've tried to connect the Vonage/Motorola router with my Linksys WRT546 V8 Wireless it doesn't work properly. Either the wireless works and the Vonage doesn't, or the wireless doesn't work and the Vonage does. I've only tried a few times, but I've gotten frustrated with my lack of technical knowledge. When I get frustrated, I can barely plug in a light bulb much less deal with anything technical. If anyone has some advise/help for me, I would very very much appreciate it. And if you need more details in order to help me out, I'll be happy to give them to you (or at least try). Anything is better than what I'm doing, which is nothing given my current level of frustration. Thanks!

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
Requests & it will definately work!!!

Linksys wireless router G problem with ASUS Eee PC 1000H laptop

This is a new laptop with a Ralink rt2860 chipset. Problem: I have trouble connecting to the router at my office. When I can connect, I often get such a low connection speed that the signal drops out and I lose the connection entirely. I have no trouble connecting to other routers. ASUS tech support says this is not a problem with the laptop. The rep told me that some "older" routers have a problem recognizing the Ralink chipset. Logically, if I can connect but it drops out, does this indicate a need for a signal booster? Does anyone know about any related compatibility issues? Thanks for any help; this is driving me nutty!

I know just enough to be dangerous. How is the change the channel on the router changed? Sounds like a system administrator job...
